“The management of the Theatre Comique announce a change of programme for every evening during the week. The principal feature, however—the Amazonian ballet, entitled ‘The Silver Knights’—will remain intact.”
“The Theatre Comique continues to give one of the best variety entertainments ever witnessed in this city. The very best attraction to be found in the country is secured at all times. This week Master Kiralfy, late of the Tammany, appears, and the ballet divertissement of ‘Silver Knights’ will be presented with the dashing premier danseuse Venturoli in several solos, assisted by Kate Pennoyer and Oberti. Geo. Coes, who is under engagement to Mr. Butler, will shortly arrive from California and open here.”
“George Coes put in an appearance at the Theatre Comique on New Year’s eve [sic] in some of his best acts, and met with a hearty reception. Mr. Coes is one of the most versatile performers in the business. The Amazonia [sic] ballet of ‘The Silver Knights’ was very well done the past week, introducing Venturoli in some of her most graceful dances. The ladies of the ballet were all dressed handsomely and did well. Arnold Kiralfy did the Hungarian dance and received an encore each evening. Madeline [sic] Hardy, vocalist, also appeared.”
